Hi Cisco, cheers,

I have one of these screwed to the side of the cab under the reflector,

May be difficult in a tent tho, I guess you could hang it vertically to light up one side or have two extras hanging either side and one under the reflector.

Looks a bit like this ...

Now I'm confused too ...

After taking your advice I was looking to heavy feed when the soil is dry next, probably Saturday, then 4 days later water with plain water, 3 litres in 11 ltr pot gives me about 2 inch of run off that I will discard.

When the soil is dry again I will do the same, plain water and throw away the runoff.

When the soil is next dry I will flush with 9 litres of plain water then chop approx 5 to 7 days after the flush. I will not be using ph in the water after the heavy last feed. I don't like too much green colour in my big leaves on chop day.

This gives me about 26 days ish from today till I'm chopping and means she has run for about 69 days from showing sex.

Im not in a tent mate so any help on setting up CFLs would be great

See the E40 holders i have seen dont have the screw holes like them , are they the exact ones you bought ? and they hold the weight of a 200/250w CFL ? Cheers dude i only use one 250W and i want at least another 125w(cause i have one spare Red spectrum 125w)

Check out my thread i just put up some new pics of my latest harvest (Master Kush)

Bloody hell, wrote a nice long message back to you with pics and all... then hit the back button on Browser!! grrr.

So where was I, The E40 is the same one I showed you on Ebay. I had no problem fitting it using a couple of screws and couple of washers. I have also loosly supported the front of the light with some of that green garden wire stuff attached to the reflector for a little support. Sure it wont need it but always better to be safe.

I've never tried more than 2 strains at the same time in my cab due to the room needed with the LST. I always bend the girls right over about 2 weeks before the 12/12 switch and run them round the pot by tying the tops down. Always gives me a nice level canopy to be able to get the lights about 2 inches from all the tops. Few pics below to have a gander at.

I usually don't have a problem with stretching even though I only have a 4ft high cab due to the LST but as you can see from one of the pics below of my Warlock and Rocklock... The Warlock started to worry me.. lol

The two tops in the middle of this pic and to the back just kept strentching and I just kept bending them down and tying to the pot.

The Warlock on the left was lst'd as usual and the Rocklock on the right was a nice short one which needed only a little bending on the stretch but I was doing my own little comparisons as I grew the Rocklock on a previous occasion..

Current Sour Kush DNA, Lamps very close to the tops.

Nice wee update there dude thanks , I have started to try supercropping so hopefully have something to show in a few weeks

[Ghostie]

Pic of the leaf for you Kermit... not sure if that will help you mate.

Over the last week the colas have been foxtailing.... I'll get some pics at the weekend.

Good luck with the supercropping Cisco. I would advise to get another light in tho. Or add a couple of weeks to your veg to give time to recover.... I maybe wrong but CFLs will not give you a speedy recovery on the break like a hps will. Give LST a go as well as I would be really interested in a comparison between LST and supercropping.

An update to even a 250hps will give you some crazy results compared to cfl, I tried last year with a 250 hps and was suprised at how much more I got as apposed to CFL's. But the worry of temps and fire put me back to the CFLs. I would give it a go again but need to get a decent ballast. The one I had looks kinda worrying.. no box/casing, to be fair, it looked like it was out of street lamp and bought at a car boot!! But was a freebie from a mate who did 3 grows and gave up... lol

As it happens i have a sour k bean left.... I bought two... Ive taken a few strikes off this one and think i may have found me a keeper so wont be needing this spare bean... Ill stick it in my bag for 420 for you if you want it?

I Cut a branch off and dried it over the last week, weighed in at around 8g dry on some lame kitchen scales but it was one of the smaller branches.... I do have another 12 tops to cut so i think 80/90g should be enough to keep me going for a while. this cut i have is quite a powerful body and head stone will a nice head high, but the best thing for me is the lack of odour when flowering.... Id say about a 4 on a scale to 10 73days from sex on wednesday so looks like the big chop then... Maybe lol

[Ghostie]

i'm thinking that i stopped feeding probably about a week early on this one as its really using up whats left in the leaves now, another week feed and i would probably have got a little better yeild.... Oh well, you live and learn lah....

What do you guys think?? Starving hungry or could have done with just a little more feed to get it through.

Used biobizz grow and bloom. and a handful of epson salts at week 5 flower also stopped the grow ferts around week 6 flower.

[Kermit]

Looking tasty, i feed up until its done and then flush, TBH some of the strains i am doing are way out on the breeders estimate and if i hadnt done it then they would have flopped.

[Ghostie]

Cheers Kermit,

These are about 80 days from switch and 71/72 days from showing sex ish... Just smoked some and its nicely kicking in .... however numeration and typing skills are dramatically reduced..

I think the breeders stated 9 weeks which is erm.... 63 days. From reading around this I'm guessing is 63 days from switch. I always start counting days from showing sex so that extra week or seems to come round quicker.

This is the first time I have had yellowing leaves as bad as this and use the same methods everytime, I'll see how the next run is and give her a bit more next time. Thinking about it, This is the first time using biobizz allmix. Usually a bag off something from B&Q with John Innes in it.

I do like the fact that with the leaves yellowing I know that the ferts are flushed from the soil (that or i have serious fert lockup) and the plant is preparing its self to die and using up what life it has to finish its flowering cycle. Yellowing happened a little quicker than i was expecting. lol.

I have no idea what a sour d or kush is meant to taste like so they are both on my list next week, I should be able to tell then if there is a taste or smell of either in there. I can confirm tho that I have just spend the last 10 minutes staring at my screen with a nice buzz in my head. Very nice.

I was suprised at the odour in flower, or should i say the lack of odour. Yes, there was a kinda smell when moved or touched, something I just couldnt quite put my finger on but even then it wasnt strong. or overpowering.

Ten more minutes wondering wether Im, high, stoned or both.... In a nice place best describes it.
